My surgery was Tuesday. At my sis in law till yesterday morning and home yesterday. I feel really good. Still very tired and am feeling some gas pressure this morning around my chest. I guess that's what it is. Protein Shakes, Water, hot tea this morning. Lots of water. Crush some of my pills and mix with yogurt.

So far my body is tolerating everything really well. I'm definitely not pushing it. Slow and easy.

I'm really surprised at how good I feel.

I know it probably sounds redundant if everyone is telling you but, on those moments of feeling that pressure WALK WALK WALK!!!!!!! It really helped me, it also helps expel the anesthesia which can linger for days and adds to the nausea

Lots of walking. Outside feeding the chickens and getting the eggs. Walking with the dogs. Around the house. This morning the pressure is much less. Just a tiny bit of discomfort. Nothing I can't handle.

Started on the shakes 8 hours before I left the hospital. Yesterday and today were the only days I was able to finish an entire Protein Shake. Supposed to do 2 a day but just haven't been able to do it. Doing fine with the Water, tho. Where I live we've been between 102 and 115 degrees since way before the surgery so water is always a big part of our intake.

It's all going so well. I'm knocking wood for sure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
